COMMON ORDER
(Order of the Court was made by the Hon'ble Chief Justice) These petitions filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India seek a direction in the nature of writ of mandamus directing the Debts Recovery Tribunal, Coimbatore, to take up and dispose of S.A.Nos.385 of 2022 and 573 of 2021, within a time frame fixed by this Court.
2. We have gone through the order sheets placed on record and find that the cases are progressing. Any direction to expedite a specific case out of turn would disrupt the board of the Tribunal. The petitioner has failed to demonstrate any exceptional circumstance that distinguishes its case from other litigants waiting in queue before the Tribunal. The Tribunal should prioritize cases based on their seniority, nature of urgency and statutory mandate. It is empowered to regulate its procedure and accelerate hearings if a genuine case of urgency is made out. Issuing blanket direction for quick disposal would put undue pressure on the Tribunal and, consequently, the persons who approached the Tribunal earlier would be left at a disadvantaged position.
3. We are, therefore, not inclined to give such a direction to decide the case within a time frame. However, the petitioner is at liberty to file appropriate application before the Tribunal to expedite the hearing.
4. With this liberty, the writ petitions stand disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. (SUSHRUT ARVIND DHARMADHIKARI, CJ.) (G.ARUL MURUGAN, J.) 03.11.2026 Index : Yes/No Neutral Citation : Yes/No tar To The Debts Recovery Tribunal, Coimbatore.
